银河发电机的模拟

Simulations of galactic dynamos

Axel Brandenburg

摘要:

我们回顾我们目前的理解银河发电机理论,特别注意数值模拟的平均场方程和原始的三维方程相关的描述磁场演化的湍流。我们强调在解释星系中的非轴对称磁场的理论困难,并讨论了这样的结果在旋转措施分析的观测基础。接下来,我们讨论了非线性理论,磁螺旋度守恒和磁螺旋度通量的作用。这导致了银河系磁场可能是双螺旋的可能性,具有相反的螺旋度符号和大小长度尺度。我们讨论了它们的观测特征,最后讨论了解释原始磁场起源的可能性。

英文摘要:

We review our current understanding of galactic dynamo theory, paying particular attention to numerical simulations both of the mean-field equations and the original three-dimensional equations relevant to describing the magnetic field evolution for a turbulent flow. We emphasize the theoretical difficulties in explaining non-axisymmetric magnetic fields in galaxies and discuss the observational basis for such results in terms of rotation measure analysis. Next, we discuss nonlinear theory, the role of magnetic helicity conservation and magnetic helicity fluxes. This leads to the possibility that galactic magnetic fields may be bi-helical, with opposite signs of helicity and large and small length scales. We discuss their observational signatures and close by discussing the possibilities of explaining the origin of primordial magnetic fields.
